After Action Report

The Bulls blew the doors off the Jazz 140-86. Bulls torched the Jazz on the offensive end. Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Bulls' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Bulls locker room is humming, and it showed. Bulls' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
